was heavy one, and carried the
eastern part of the State. The lar

sentiment in every State has a good

Cold In The Northwest.

Week before last was most in
tensely cold in the Northwest, and
in Montana there is apprehension of
great loss of life. Snow began fall
ing in the middle of November and
there is now more on the ground
than at any time during the past ten
years. Most of of the stage roads
are closed up and trains are running
at irregular intervals. The supply
of fuel is almost exhausted, and
what there is brings $50 a ton. The
snow is drifted to enormous depths,
and people living at mountain bases
are in imminent danger Of freezing
to death. Should another protracted
storm occur, it is believed hundreds
would succumb to its terrOrs. As
it is more people have been frozen
to death this winter than for a quar-
ter of a century. The snow will be
a long time disappearing ever with
chinook winds, as a solid sheet of ice
an inch thick formed over it late in
January and since that time nearly
two feet have fallen. The cold has
been intense, varying from 40 degrees
below zero at Livingston and Helena,
to 60 degrees below at Fort Shaw
and Fort Assinboine. In the vicin-
itv of the little Jennie and Grand
Central mines on Bald mountain the
snow is eight feet on the level and
travel is impossible, except on snow
shoes.
a dispatch from Yankton, Dakota,
of Saturday the 18th, says that the
unusually severe winter and the
large amount of snow which has fall
en- are the causes of grave apprehen-
sion of overflows and inundations of
the bottom lands for 200 miles above
and below this city. The river is
very low and where there is no cur
rent the ice measures five feet in
thickness. The Indians, who make
their home in the Missouri bottoms
about the city are moving to the
hills, claiming that the water will be
higher than at any time since 1881,
when the water covered the low
lands 81 days.
On Friday and Saturday a biz
zard ragged at Pipestone and other
places in Minnesota. All railroad
travelling was abandoned and much
suffering is feared in that section.

Abolish The Car Stove.

The Connecticut River Railroad
claims to have secured the heating
of passenger cars without the use of
stoves. The experiments began six
wears ago, and have been continued
until twenty-five trains are successful
" heated by .steam from the engine.
The cars are heated through the
coupling and there is a coil under
each seat. There is an auxiliary boil.
er under the car from which
the car is heated when the en-
CINE is not attached to the train.
Thus far only six cars on a train have
been heated, but the inventor, a Mr..
Emerson, claims that fifteen or twenty
cars can as we'll be heated. Superin-
tendent Mulligan of the Connecticut
River road, says that heating more
than six is impracticable. The cars
of the elevated roads in New York
are heated by steam, and the car of
the Boston & Lowell, Albany and
other roads by hot water. 1t is
claimed that only one car has ever
taken fire from this kind of heater.
1t is further claimed that cars never
take fire from lights as lights eXtin-
guish instantly in an accident. ==
The Massachusetts legislative com-
mittee on railroads is investigating
the subject and there is little doubt
that a great improvement will be sug-
gested and enforced as an outcome
of the investigation. The experiment
on the Connecticut and other roads
render it almost certain that heating
of passenger cars by steam is entire
ly pran+inahln The C11ccnSS of the hot
air heaters on the Delaware & Lack
awanna, New York Central and some
of our New England roads furnish
ample reason for prohibiting by legis-
lative enactment the longer use OF
the stove on any passenger cars

ligan of the Connecticut River road,
Division Superintendent Todd of the
Boston 4 Lowell road, master me-
chanic Gordon of the Concord road
and ROadmaster Bean of the Central
Vermont were substantially agreed
that the accident was due to the break
ing of an axle of the rear Pullman car.
AS the railroad commission have made
a thorough investigation. it is posi-
BILE that they may be. able to give a
clear explanation of the matter. The
weight Of testimony of railroad en-
gineers and mechanics is that human
ingenuity hasn't vet succeeded III man
ufacturing rails that will be an abso-
lutte guard against defects and III re-
gard to the question of guard-rails on
bridges. about which a good deal has
been said. it is the opinion Of r. f.
Hawkins, the well-known Springfield
bridge-builder, that they would have
proved ineffective in the Hartford ac-
cident, though they should be provi-
ded for all bridges and their APP
proaches. The Hartford bridge had
eight-inch guard timbers- Mi. Haw-
kins is not inclined to think that the
Central Vermont management "a be
held responsible for the accident. The
Springfield Union reports Governor
Smith as saying ''that whatever con-
struction the courts put upon the
question Of the roads responsibility
would be met cheerfully, and every
thing that it is possible to do for the
comfort of the injured, or for the
satisfaction of the friends of the
dead, will be DONE

sanction with a generous appropria-
ton. their scheme for spanning the
Potomac to Arlington with a maonif-
icent, mile-long, memorial bridge to
General Grant. 1t is proposed that
this monument to the great chieftain
shall be the ideal bridge of the world.
1t is to get its monumental charac-
ter from two grand towers over the
main piers in the middle of the river.
Each of these towers is to be 25O #.
high. and constructed Of granite, with
suitable inscriptions and allegorical
representations. 1t is intended that
the towers shall furnish ~implacement
for memorial stones or objects dedi-
Gated from the various states, coun-
tries and societies.
As in the time of the Roman En-
pire the bridge is again being resort
ed to for memorial expression. 1t
can easily be made an imposing struc-
ture and lends itself naturally to dec
grafton. Since this is an utilitarian
AGE, the memorials it builds should
not only mean something, but be
worth something-nOt only be signi-
ficant, but useful. Statues and mon
Oliths belong to the past, and great
mementoes will more and more here
after take the form of schools, mu-
seums, bridges, libraries, homes and
hospitals, thus combining service with
beauty.

strued as a ruse to relieve himself of

Wushinqton, Feb. II

Washington, Feb. II.
The principal topic of comment at
the Capitol during the past few days
a the presidents veto of the big
pension bill. Many were prepared
for the veto, however. 1t was the
logical sequence of Mr.. Cleyeland's
action with regard to private pension
bills, and he could not have been
consistent had he adopted any other
course.
1t is too soon vet to say what
congress will do about it. Its future
action depends much upon the man
ner in which the veto is received by
the country. The humiliating con
fession had as well be made that our
national Legislators follow public
opinion, instead of leading it.
Some members of the House who
voted for this remarkable pension bill
say now that they suppose the presi-
dent is right about it. Southern
members are unqualified in their APP
prevail of the veto, and declare that
it will secure to Mr.. Cleveland the
vote of southern delegates to the
democratic convention and insure his
nomination.
90
Others who do not agree with the
president, acknowledge that the veto
message is a very able state paper;
and that it will be almost impossible
now to pass the bill oven the veto.
Representative Warner of Ohio was
opposed to the principle of the disa-
bility pension bill as whole, but he
maintains that the Mexican pension
bill contained much Of the same prin-
ciple, and that the president would
be more consistent and his position
stronger had he vetoed both.
Great interest centred in the per
sOnnel of the counsel engaged in tie
great telephone contest which has
been argued here for two weeks in
the supreme court. The appellants
were represented by an immense ar
ray of counsel from all parts of the
country. They were all able lawyers
and commanded close attention from
the crowded audiences which heard
them. The great Importance of this
case will be better understood by the
fact that the interests based on the
Bell patents is now worth over $780,
600, 200.
The most ridiculous incident of the
whole case was a grand closing at
tempt of Mr.. Bells counsel to excite
the fearful sympathy of stern Justic-
es for his client. Mr.. Bell, who has
made an enormous fortune out of his
monopoly, who has crushed out all
competitors, and who has refused to
accept the use of valuable improve
ments because his profits would be
diminished thereby, was exhibited as
a poor, prosecuted wretch, and com
pared to Palsy, Watt, and other
martyrs.
